RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted March 20, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2013 His Publisher, Jeremy Trevathan, says, “Jim Herbert was one of the keystone authors in a genre that had its heyday in the 1970s and 1980s. It’s a true testament to his writing and his enduring creativity that his books continued to be huge bestsellers right up until his death. He has the rare distinction that his novels were considered classics of the genre within his lifetime. His death marks the passing of one of the giants of popular fiction in the 20th century.” R.I.P James - you wrote some cracking stuff, made the hairs on the back of my neck rise at times.

trisonic Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Poor Chap! He couldn't have liked that last review I wrote.......... An East Ender who was, I believe, a Roadie before fame struck him. What's it like, after all, Jim? Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adams442T Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Was three years above me at senior school and one of the 'good guys'. A modest decent bloke who never let fame go to his head. We'll miss you Jman! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted March 20, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2013 I don't think I have read any of his books. The one I thought for some reason that I had (Watership Down) was written by somebody else entirely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
